The legend 'STATE OF KUWAIT' appears in Latin characters at the top of the coin, with the Arabic equivalent 'دولة الكويت' positioned above it. The lower arc of the border carries the bilingual inscription commemorating the 15th Anniversary of Kuwait Liberation Day in both Arabic and Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Kuwait's Liberation Day commemoratives have been issued periodically since the Gulf War's end in 1991, marking the February 26th expulsion of Iraqi forces following Operation Desert Storm. The 1990–91 occupation lasted seven months, during which the Central Bank's own reserves and records were looted — Iraqi forces removed an estimated $1 billion in Kuwaiti currency and bullion.
KM#300 belongs to a run of large-format silver issues produced in the mid-2000s as oil revenues funded an expanding commemorative program. Relatively low mintages and the 72.5g silver content keep secondary market pressure consistent on these pieces.
